* Functional
* Two values of functional
* Functions are first-class, that is, functions are values which can be used in exactly the same ways as any other sort of value.
* The meaning of Haskell programs is centered around evaluating expressions rather than executing instructions.
* Pure
Haskell expressions are always referentially transparent, that is:
* No mutation! Everything (variables, data structures…) is immutable.
* Expressions never have “side effects” (like updating global variables or printing to the screen).
* Calling the same function with the same arguments results in the same output every time.
* Lazy
* Statically Typed
* Helps clarify thinking and express program structure
* Serves as a form of documentation
* Turns run-time errors into compile-time errors
